Disclosed is a method by which a terminal receives a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block in an unlicensed band. Particularly, the method comprises: receiving information related to an actual transmitted SS/PBCH block (ATSS) transmitted by a base station; and receiving the SS/PBCH block on the basis of valid bits from among a plurality of bits included in the information related to the ATSS, wherein the number of valid bits can be based on an interval value between SS/PBCH blocks capable of assuming a quasi co-location (QCL).
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein among the 8 bits, Q bits are interpreted and 8-Q bits are not interpreted.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein among the 8 bits, each of 8-Q bits has a value of ‘0’.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the Q bits is equal to the interval between the SS/PBCH blocks in which the QCL assumption is allowed.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing rate matching for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or mapping between the SS/PBCH block and a random access channel (RACH) occasion based on the Q bits.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the UE is configured to communicate with at least one of the base station, a UE other than the UE, a network, or an autonomous driving vehicle.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the Q being less than 8.
11. The device of claim 10, wherein the Q bits is equal to the interval between the SS/PBCH blocks in which the QCL assumption is allowed.
13. The device of claim 10, wherein among the 8 bits, Q bits are interpreted and 8-Q bits are not interpreted.
14. The device of claim 10, wherein the device is configured to communicate with at least one of the base station, a user equipment (UE), a network, or an autonomous driving vehicle.
15. The device of claim 10, wherein among the 8 bits, each of 8-Q bits has a value of ‘0’.
16. The device of claim 10, wherein the operations further comprise: performing rate matching for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or mapping between the SS/PBCH block and a random access channel (RACH) occasion based on the Q bits.
17. The device of claim 10, wherein the Q being less than 8.
